Once again, I was in a new school. So was a girl in my class named Paris. That’s where the   31  ended.

I was tall and she was small. I was one of the oldest in the class while she was the youngest. I was   32  and shy. She wasn’t. I couldn’t   33  her, considering her my enemy. But she wanted to be friends.

One day, she invited me over and I said yes — I was too   34   to say no. Actually no one has invited me over to play before. But this girl, who wore the latest  35  , wanted to see me.

She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister. When we got to the room she    36  with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies(芭比娃娃)- which was my next  37  . I would have thought she’d outgrown them. I has never played with them. But we sat on the floor of a walk-in cupboard laughing as we  38  crazy stories about the Barbies. That’s   39  we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older. We both had wile   40  .

We had a great day that afternoon. Our jaws ached from   41  so much. She showed me her outfits, which had   42   come from a designer clothing store down the block. The woman who owned it used her   43   a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes    44  .

Paris had the whole neighborhood   45  . The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free   46   and the pizza place let her have free slices. Soon I was   47  in her magic world. We slept over at each other's houses, spent every free moment together. My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being   48  .

Paris, my first real friend since childhood, helped me   49   the through teenage years and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: your “worst enemy” can  50  to be your best friend.

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraphThere is one extra heading which you do not need.

A.Causes of overusing fluoride

B.Negative effects of fluoride

C.Safe use of fluoride

D.The expert’s background information

E.No need to worry about fluoride poisoning

F.Solutions to improper use of fluoride

I have heard that fluoride can help stop dental decay, but I recently read that it is poisonousWhich of these is true? How can children use fluoride safely?

This question is answered by Dr Marcia M.Rich who practises general dentistry in Newholt.She is also a lecturer at the University and a writer for the monthly magazine Your Dentist Cares

My answer to the first question is to stress that fluoride works well and is safe when users follow instructions.Young children have a tendency to swallow toothpaste, which is why they should only have a tiny amount of fluoride toothpaste on their toothbrush.If this simple measure is taken, parents can be confident that children will be protected against tooth decay, and come to no harm.

Almost all medicines have an adverse effect-or even be deadly-if they are not taken as directed.So you are right-fluoride can be poisonous if it is swallowed in very large quantities.It is for the reason that fluoride supplements can only be obtained on prescription from the doctor or dentist.Please be assured that fluoride overdoses are rare-in fact, I have never heard of any fatal incidents related to fluoride poisoning.

Scientific studies have shown that fluoride can help to prevent cavities as long as it is used correctly.If fluoride is abused, there is a risk of illness or even deaths in extreme cases.If a deadly amount of fluoride is taken, immediate first-aid could save a life.A person who has swallowed a large amount of fluoride will probably start vomiting.If not, the patient should be given milk or antacid and taken to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment.

Taking too much fluoride while teeth are growing can lead to a condition called dental fluorosis.The most likely cause is the swallowing of fluoride toothpastes by young children.It can also be caused by inappropriate use of fluoride drop or other fluoride supplements, for example when fluoride is already is already present in drinking water.
